Unable to remove root - General Questions and Answers

I have successfully rooted my phone with SuperSU and it works fine. But I want to switch to MagiskSU so I can use snapchat. When I go to settings in SuperSU and click full unroot it says uninstallation failed. I know the other way to remove it is by flashing UPDATE-unSU.zip but when I do so it only removes the SuperSU app and not the root. I was wondering if there was any other way of unrooting SuperSU that allows me to install MagiskSU. I have a Oneplus 3T and have all the latest updates. Please help.

Magisk needs a kernel that haven't been patched by supersu. Reflash boot so that you have a "clean" kernel and try magisk again. Then, with magisk root you can remove the su.img in /data if it's still present.

Root problem

Hi all,
I have lost the ability to root my EMUI 5.0 v360 rom using either Magisk or SuperSU with the TWRP designed for EMUI 5.0.
I had SuperSU installed and working but I wanted to try Magisk for the Magisk Hide feature.
I uninstalled SuperSU through the app settings. It succeeded.
Then I installed Magisk. It also succeeded.
That was fine, and I noticed that Magisk has its own internal BusyBox so I figured out would uninstall BusyBox that I had installed and use that.
But from that moment I lost root.
Then I tried uninstall of Magisk using its flash able uninstall. And then reinstall it.
Root was not activated by reinstalling even though Magisk was successfully installed.
The I uninstall Magisk completely to go back to SuperSU.
The flashable SuperSU installs fine. But the app does not recognise that the binaries are installed at all.
So right now I can patch the relevant files in twrp but the system no longer recognises root.
I don't know how this could happen from uninstalling BusyBox. But that's where I am stuck at...

Man with every little thing you do, you need to take a backup from TWRP. Now the only solution to your problem is to reflash your firmware.

Anyone running Xposed Nougat on rooted stock?

So now that the unofficial Xposed for Nougat is out, has anyone gotten it to work on a rooted stock mate 9?
It looked like it might be just for magisk, but root is via SuperSU for us.

First off you need to be on a B182+ firmware and flash Twrp 3.1.0-1.
For decrypted (Wipe - 'Format Data' in twrp then back to twrp start screen and Reboot - Reboot recovery, this erases all user data/apps and you need to flash public and hw zip after you've formatted) use the official Magisk 13.3 zip: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
For encrypted (no need to format data or do anything special, downside is you won't be able to backup /data partition) use: https://mega.nz/#!I4FQzbyA!gBZelHmD3lGGwzGISUXkf7GQTUAq5i785d_qPHQOaVE
If you have any root flashed currently, flash back stock boot.img before flashing Magisk.

DON'T FLASH MAGISK v14.0
Like the others said, you need to flash magisk but don't flash magisk v14.0. I had huge issues with my SM-G920F with magisk v14.0 (I kept on losing root, modules didn't work correctly...) so I just went back to the last working version, which was v13.3. You can still install the same modules (by manually flashing them through apps like flashify), but you will never lose root (or at least I haven't). I lost root after 3 minutes of use on average on v14.0 and never lost it once on v13.3. However, the best way to do so it to run the uninstall script in twrp if you had magisk previously installed and then flash the older versions. The older versions can be found on the original magisk developer section right at the bottom where it says downloads.

[stupid question] OTA update when on magisk and xposed?

Hello XDA!
It's been a while since I did 'modding' on phones, I think I started with the OP1 back in 2014 but have not really been keeping up ever since. I am now on 5.1.5 and running official OOS with magisk and xposed for gravitybox.. Can I just disable magisk and xposed, do the OTA update and then re-enable or do I have to uninstall them fully? Or can I just do the OTA right now?
Sorry for what might be a really obvious answer.
Thank you!
You can do the OTA but if you want magisk (and then xposed systemless) i suggest you to install TWRP after update and you need in all cases to re-do root process

Ahh I see. Because xposed is now systemless it doesn't matter if I leave it enabled right? Is the new official TWRP without any dangerous bugs?
Thanks for your swift reply!!
maybe to help you all
me: 5.1.5, unlocked bootloader, unofficial TWRP from thread by wuxianlin, magisk 16.4
my procedure was to change to official twrp which can be done easily by
downloading the twrp installer from official site, put to internal storage
flash twrp official installer
still in recovery, select reboot: recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now download full 5.1.6 signed flashable zip
recovery: flash 5.1.6
reflash recovery
reboot recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now you have rooted 5.1.6 with official twrp and magisk, no wipe needed
oneplus6 ha a/b partition. so if you installed magisk 16.4 already. just OTA. when it's done don't reboot yet. enter magisk manager, choose install on the second partition. reboot.

This will useful only if don't have TWRP, in other case you'll lose twrp in this way

TWRP official has no bug, the only thing i don't know is if backup/restore is working fine, if you install ota via TWRP and then flash (without reboot) twrp.zip and magisk, after reboot you'll find out that system is exactly the same it was before updating
The only thing u need to disable before updates are overlays through substratum, I also remove any security like finger prints, face unlock and pin or patterns too just in case. Once u flash update u will have to reflash magisk and xposed too

Magisk root pixel?

Does anyone know how to check to see if your phone is rooted after flashing magisk in fastboot?
Flashed factory image for Pie and also flashed magisk and updated to 17.1 (I think is current) but when I try using Uninstaller Pro to remove Hangout as a system app I get a no root permissions error.
Any one know what my problem is?

The Root Checker app at the PlayStore can verify whether you're rooted or not.
